The national media are starting to notice the Bears and Caleb

Yes and Theo had a better game. The Giants aren't good but they did have talented edge rushers.

There were definitely some Justin Fields games where he was the best player and the primary reason for the win.

As for today, love the win, love the clutch gene, but watch that last scrambling TD again. Two WRs wide open. WIDE OPEN. I would have been much more impressed if Caleb had stopped and fired a game-winning TD pass. As it stands now, the end of game scrambling heroics remind me of guess who? Fields again.

In the post game interview, once Williams saw Kmet 1v1 with no other defender in the area, he already made his mind up.

Oz was open, trailing Kmet, but that dude was dropping everything. So I am glad he didn't throw it to him. Who else was wide open?

The Bears offense is now 3rd in the NFL in Yards Per Game. The last time they were 3rd or higher was in 1977 when the league had only 28 teams lol.  So technically you would have to go all the way back to 1956 to find an offense that produced this many yards compared to the rest of the NFL. 

The last time the Bears had a top 10 offense for both Pts and Yds with a defense that was top 10 in takeaways was 2006.

Brisker - 74.8
Williams - 74.5
Wright - 71.4
Byard - 67.7

Jarrett - 41.0

Bears are wrecking coaching staffs around the league, Daboll the last victim:

 

[Stinger226]

Montez Sweat is back. Has 5.5 sacks, 2 FFs, 4 PDs, 8 TFL, 9 QB hits. 26 pressures so far this year. Should be able to reach double digit sacks.

Yeah, he looks healthy. 

It would be amazing if they could sign Asante Samuel Jr.

It would be so funny if the Kafka led Giants beat the Packers next week in NY.

I remember when Brian Daboll was making the rounds as the new hot OC ready to make his mark as an HC. He was considered the can't-miss candidate after gaining huge accolades for his work as Buffalo's OC. I was wishing the Bears would hire him.

For clarity, I meant in regards to Caleb as QB1. Yesterday was the first time the Bears unquestionably won because of the quarterback, in my opinion. You could argue last week too, although I thought that game was just as much about the run game as the QB play.

I do agree that his decision making still leaves some to be desired. I don't have as much of a problem with him choosing to use his legs vs throwing the ball, because throwing it introduces more variables into the equation in ways that just running for the first down (if you know you can get it) don't. Particularly in a game where his receivers were dropping everything, I was fine with those decisions.

I didn't care for the deep TD attempt to DJ Moore on a 3rd (or was it a 4th down play?) when he had Burden wide open for the easy first down underneath. Those are the ones where he needs to be smarter and not be as aggressive when you are in those critical do or die downs, and the priority has to be ensuring you move the chains.

Ah yes, the Lovie Smith era.  And the last time in a Super Bowl.  Sigh... LOL.

Surprised that Fangio's defense with the 2018 squad didn't rate.

Yeah...same. So was Nagy around that same time.  And is again...if you can believe that.

Something tells me that Nagy will become the next Josh McDaniels.  Decent OC(?) who never made it as an HC.
